As a genius herself, Yugito Nii was well aware that the gap between geniuses could sometimes be larger than the gap between a genius and an ordinary person.
No matter how talented Megumai was, she was still light-years away from the legendary Uchiha Madara, a gap that was hard to cross. Most of this distance was determined from birth and could not be compensated for by hard work.
Therefore, the Fourth Raikage's belief that Megumai's eyes would surely regain their sight was clearly too optimistic due to his excitement.
In response, Yugito Nii and Atsui both remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
The Fourth Raikage, still in high spirits, was unusually talkative and shared his joy with the two.
He continued, "Actually, what makes me happiest is not Megumai joining the village, but her son coming!"
Yugito Nii understood.
Seiya was a boy, giving him a natural advantage over women in terms of perpetuating the bloodline.
And Megumai, who used science to conceive Seiya alone, clearly wished to avoid contact with the opposite sex, fundamentally cutting off the possibility for Kumogakure to breed Uchiha's through her.
After all, Kumogakure could not violate her wishes, or wouldn't that be just like Konoha, trying to push the Uchiha away?
Thus, Seiya's importance became evident.
The little guy would be the precious and sole Uchiha seedling for Kumogakure to propagate!
...
A bright future, thriving and flourishing, seemed to be right before their eyes.
In due time, Kumogakure would also possess one of the most precious Kekkai Genkai in the Shinobi world!
The Fourth Raikage's eyes were sharp, and his spirit was stirred.
After a long time, he let out a long breath, finally calming his excitement and regaining his composure.
"Atsui, you completed your mission of guarding Yugito well. It will be noted in your annual review. Now, return to the Shinobi Hospital to resume your duties."
"Yes, Raikage-sama."
Atsui responded and left the office.
After sending her away, the Fourth Raikage looked at Yugito Nii.
"Tell me, having spent time with the Uchiha mother and son, what are their personalities like? What are their characteristics?"
Yugito Nii frowned in thought for a moment and said, "Megumi-senpai is a woman of few words and generally doesn't initiate conversations, except when comforting the baby. She is extremely fond of her son, and her emotions are always swayed by the little one."
"The little one is livelier and more outgoing. Like most children, he likes toys and cartoons. His characteristic is perhaps his great interest in Shinobi battles. Every time we dealt with bandits, the little one would be very excited and watch with great interest."
"It seems this Uchiha child is also very fond of fighting!" The Fourth Raikage was very satisfied.
Kumogakure's ethos is one of martial prowess.
Seiya fits perfectly with this. This is an excellent start!
Furthermore, the child is only three years old and will basically not remember anything, having no impression of Konoha or the Land of Iron.
When he grows up, his only homeland will be Kumogakure!
The Fourth Raikage felt increasingly that Seiya was a once-in-a-lifetime candidate, perfectly suited to start a new branch of the Uchiha in Kumogakure.
Following this, the Fourth Raikage's mind sharpened, and he suddenly realized that there was still a long way to go and much work to be done before Kumogakure would possess the Kekkai Genkai.
The immediate priority was to cultivate Seiya's sense of belonging to Kumogakure.
Otherwise, if the "ancestor" disliked the village, no matter how many descendants there were, they would be a disaster!
The plan to steal the Hyuga main family's young mistress should also be canceled.
Kumogakure now has an Uchiha descendant and no longer needs to covet the Hyuga bloodline.
There is no need to create unnecessary complications and incite Konoha's hostility.
Otherwise, provoking a great war would, on the contrary, hinder the growth of the Uchiha...
After a period of contemplation, the Fourth Raikage instructed Yugito Nii.
"Currently, you and Atsui are the people the Uchiha mother and son are most familiar with in the village. Your training trip to the Turtle Island is not urgent; put it off for now. In the near future, interact appropriately with the Uchiha family-no, the Tojo family-to help the mother and son integrate into their new life in Kumogakure."
"Yes, Raikage-sama!" Yugito Nii answered.
After she left, the Fourth Raikage stood on the debris of the desk, quietly looking out at the cloudscape through the window, his gaze gradually growing fervent.
Konoha doesn't cherish the Uchiha; I, Kumogakure, will!
The sea embraces all rivers; tolerance makes a great man.
I must make Kumogakure the strongest Shinobi village in the world!
...
Focusing on two separate threads.
Under Mabui's guidance, Megumai and Seiya arrived at their new home in the center of Fourth Generation Street-a detached house with front and back courtyards.
It occupied about 0.1 hectares, was in an excellent location, and most of the neighbors were descendants of meritorious figures or excellent Jonin.
The 'simple' house the Fourth Raikage mentioned was clearly an understatement.
This house was fully furnished, elegantly decorated, and exquisitely beautiful, truly a superior residence.
Aside from not having been built by her own hands, Megumai could find no fault with it for the time being.
Mabui introduced it, "This street was specially funded by the Raikage-sama and built for Shinobis with outstanding merits, with houses distributed for free."
"Your arrival is of extraordinary significance to Kumogakure. The Kekkai Genkai of the Sharingan is a great merit. Therefore, this house rightfully belongs to both of you. Please live here without worry."
Megumai nodded slightly and smiled lightly, "Since the village treats us so generously, I will certainly do my best to contribute in a manner worthy of this residence."
Mabui secretly praised her.
She had long heard that the Uchiha were arrogant and unruly, but seeing them in person, it seemed that was not the case.
They were quite polite!
Then, the three toured the house, taking a quick look around.
Afterward, at Megumai's request, Mabui guided the mother and son to the Raikage Building to update their photos.
Then, they toured the village, giving the mother and son a general idea of the locations of functional buildings like the Shinobi Hospital, the Shinobi Academy, and the amusement park.
After that, the sky gradually darkened.
Seeing that Mabui had worked hard for most of the day, Megumai invited her to a simple meal at a restaurant on the street as a token of her gratitude.
They all enjoyed themselves and returned to their respective homes.
In the evening, Seiya, nearly four years old, was bathed with his mother's help and got into bed.
He nestled in his mother's arms and soon fell asleep.
In the little one's soft snoring, Megumai quietly contemplated her future life plan.
There were two major matters before her.
The first was her son's schooling. However, the enrollment age in Kumogakure was five or six, so this was not urgent for the time being.
The second was to find a job, whether civilian or military; she had to have something to do. This was the responsibility and obligation of a healthy adult Shinobi.
The principle for finding a job remained the same: 'always be able to look after her son.'
Reopening a supermarket was clearly out of the question. That was a job for ordinary people, and healthy adult Shinobis should not take their rice bowl.
She needed to do a job commensurate with her status...
Megumai pondered for a while, and finally made a decision in her heart. She then lightly kissed her son's forehead and closed her eyes to rest.
